After Googling for a while I couldn't find a way of detecting the Mac OS X version ruby is running on. I tryed the RUBY_PLATFORM constant but it only tells me I'm running Mac OS, not its version. Is there any other way of detecting wether the script is beeing run on 10.4 or 10.5? Thanks :)

The uname command returns the Darwin OS version, where Mac OS 10.4 is Darwin 8.x and Mac OS 10.5 is Darwin 9.x, so this should work: os_version = `uname -r` if os_version =~ /^8/ # Tiger elsif os_version =~ /^9/ # Leopard end Hope this helps, Lyle

or look in the ENV for variables that you can parse.
